@RusAlex I've updated the answer with a TLDR; about why transfer and send should be avoided. You might also want to look at this post.

Besides the checks-effect and guarding methods to preven reentrancy, would it also be secure to use recipient.call{gas: 3000, value:amt}("");? (I just used 3000 as a gas amount here, ofc this can be adjusted accordingly)

Well, if you're going to now advise people to not use send or transfer, something should be said about reentrancy, as that was the point of the 2300 gas stipend for the other approaches (misguided as they turned out to be).

Dec 2019: call.value()() should now be used for transferring ether. (send and transfer should be avoided.) See: ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/78124/… I will clean up this comment if this answer is updated.

transfer() does not allow setting gas limit

If send fails, it returns false, correct? What does transfer do if it fails? Does it return false? Does it revert all changes?
